Actionable takeaways
You're a paid advertising professional. It would make sense that you attend an event where every single session is focused on making you a better PPC marketer. Get actionable content and innovative ideas that you can implement today.
Speakers who are in the trenches
Our open speaker pitch process ensures that you hear from the most innovative perspectives in the industry, session after session and day after day.
Unparalleled onsite experience
Hero Conf was built because the PPC community was lacking a relevant learning opportunity. And if we aren't continually learning, we're falling behind. We've been focusing on our attendees and their long-term success, regardless of industry or role.
No convention centers
Convention centers can be sterile and uninviting. We strive to create an intimate, unique experience that the big shows just can't match. We host our events in unique spaces designed to give you access to the city and all that it entails. Because you deserve to feel at home.
Co-located with brightonSEO
Hero Conf is in the same venue at the same time as brightonSEO and your ticket is valid for both events.

We had 28% of attendees bring a group of three or more, and over 13% joined the conference with four or more colleagues.

Use the conference time as a way to train rookies or expand your veterans’ knowledge.
Encourage employees and colleagues to join you in gaining invaluable insights with actionable takeaways.
» Because content is rich & conversation is richer
Of course we pride ourselves in the depth of our content, but applying what you learn is the ultimate goal!
Work with your team during a coffee break or the bar takeover to discuss onsite how to implement what you’re learning and engage in the PPC world around you, together!
»To bond with your team
Spend some time with your team doing something other than work while you enjoy yourselves at our social and networking activities!
We come to Hero Conf to learn more about the industry we love, but the evenings are reserved for catching your breath.
Let loose with your colleagues and get to know one another away from the office.
